We take off the month of August like our friends in Europe, but we're back this Fall with a fabulous lineup of your favorite designers with Planet Purl's Party Line Events...

We're honored that the venerable Kaffe Fassett will be returning to the Party Line to talk about "Dreaming in Color", his autobiography. Gorgeously photographed, it's an inspiration for all textlie artists. We'll give away a copy, too!

Party Line newcomer Nadine Curis joins us to talk about her new book, "Knit Notes", a design and inspiration journal, with all the tools you need to keep track of your projects and your own designs. We'll give away a copy, too, because that's how we roll around here!

We're delighted that author Kristeen Griffin-Grimes will be joining us for her first ever appearance on the Party Line to talk about her new book "French Girl Knits Accessories", a follow up to her wildly successful French Girl Knits. So put on your best beret and join us on the Party Line. Are we giving a book? Mais, oui!

Guess who has over 1,000,000 YouTube views of her how-to videos? If you guessed Planet Purl's own PurlQueen, Beth Moriarty, you're right! We're celebrating by giving away a prize every day in September. Here's how it works:

With one of the hottest summers on record, most of us are dreaming of autumn's crisp days and cool evenings. Time to make an afghan and dream of curling up with a hot toddy under the blanket in front of the fireplace. Can't get here soon enough for me!
